Dies MONIES. To-, Dec. 29.-The exc
cutive council has been engaged all day
in hearing Arguments and evidence IN
the senatorial contest in the Fifteenth
Iowa district, in which an effort is
being made to withhold from Senator
Cossatt a certificate of election to which
he is entitled on the face of the returns.
Cossatt's majority in the district is ten,
and failure to issue his certificate
grew out of an alleged excess of ballots
in one ward in the town of Abba. The
governor issued a proclamation Tor
a special election in this ward, while the
evidence submitted to-day shows that
there is no excess of ballots, but that an
error in computing the returns made 1t
appear that there were ten more ballots
than there were names on the poll book.
Afidavits from Young. the defeated
candidate, the three Judges of election
in the ward and the county auditor, stat
ing that there was no excess of ballots,
were submitted. The counsel opposing
the issuance of a certificate to CaSSatt
did not attempt to assail the formidable
array of evidence, but insisted that Sen
atOr CaSsatt and the Iowa Democrats
should be given a dose of MISSISSIPPI
politics. and that he should be counted
out. The council took the case under
adYiSement.

Charles O. Carpenter, chief of the night

yesterday when charges were preferred
against Carpenter for carrying the keys
to a saloon and delivering wet groceries
to certain parties after the saloons were
closed for the night, and out of hours
for selling goods. The mayor suspended
him and appointed a committee of the
council to investigate the charges. Next
Monday the matter Will be sifted to the

Policeman Carpenter will be relegated
to private life. He was a pioneer in
